10 Times I’m Glad Social Media Wasn’t Around

November 18, 2015 by Carrie Tinsley 2 Comments

10 Times I’m Glad Social Media Wasn’t Around

I have this love/hate relationship with social media, as I’m sure we all do. I LOVE seeing friends from the past having babies, posting funny things about their kids or jobs or people who annoy them, and keeping up with the lives of people whom I love but can’t see all the time. As the […]

I Was a Wedding Registry Disaster

November 16, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 4 Comments

“Do we get dessert tonight? How about some crème brulee?” My husband Jeff is nothing if not a jokester, though this is long-running inside joke has run its course. He refers, of course, to the wedding registry disaster of 2006. I have no idea what I thought marriage would be like when, at 26, engaged, […]

Carrie on Parenting: Mama Tried

Carrie on Parenting: Mama Tried

  Despite my Sunday learning, Towards the bad, I kept turning. ‘Til Mama couldn’t hold me anymore. And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole. No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried. Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied. That leaves only me to blame […]

How SAHMotherhood Is Like Being Cinderella

How SAHMotherhood Is Like Being Cinderella

Yesterday, as Cinderella was dancing across our TV screen and I was fishing a toy out from under the couch and cleaning whatever I could get while I was at it, I realized something. I’m Cinderella. I work for no pay. I’m expected to cook, clean, do laundry, and be pleasant while all that’s going on. […]

Breaking Mommish

Breaking Mommish

Only a few months after I married my husband back in 2006, I peed on a stick, there was a plus sign, another plus sign, and two lines a couple of times (this was kind of a shock, so I needed lots of confirmation), and I became a mom. I had always wanted to be a […]

Bartending for Moms Everywhere…You’re Welcome

May 27, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 1 Comment

One of my favorite movies from childhood was the 1991 blockbuster hit City Slickers. You’ve probably seen it, so I won’t bore you with the plot summary, but the screenplay’s writers were definitely onto something with the Barry and Ira Shalowitz characters, a pair of adventure-seeking brothers who owned an ice cream empire and one of whom, […]

A Dose of Sweetness, Reality, Humor, and Murder on Mother’s Day

May 10, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all Leave a Comment

You know the Mother’s Day when you get the sleeping late, the spa pedicure, the cut flowers, the showering of gifts, gift cards, and the afternoon nap? I got some (not all) of it. But I totally loved my Mother’s Day, complete with its dose of sweetness, reality, humor, and murder. Yes, MURDER. Sweetness: Breakfast in bed! […]

Carrie on Parenting: 10 Truths I’ve Learned as a Stay at Home Mom

April 28, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 2 Comments

Two years ago, if you had told me I would be a stay at home mom living in Arkansas, I would have laughed in your face and asked if you’d had your meds this morning. I was days from giving birth to our third child and an 11-year veteran high school English teacher in the Nashville […]

Carrie On Parenting: Worrying WAY TOO EARLY About My Kids’ Spouses?!?

April 14, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 2 Comments

In 2010 at a family reunion, we joyously cut into a “gender reveal” blue cake and officially prepared to welcome our second child into the world. A boy! A little brother for our daughter…nothing could have been more perfect. And then my grandmother looked over at me and said , “You know what they say: […]
